To rtl]l 14j/tom; ,it may concern.'

Be it known'that I, DONALD G. McKENzIE, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at the city of Victoria, in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, have invented new andv useful Improvements in ,Cash- Change-Giving Devices, of which the followingVIis a specification.

y invention relates to a changeiving device designed for application to a cas i-regster and to be cooperative therewith, the object being to deliver from coinma azines in the machine the correct change groin any articular coin given to the salesman on his indicating and recording in the machine the amount of the sale made `and depressing a key corresponding to the value of the coin given to operate t 1e change-delivery.

The device comprises a series of coin-holdingl magazines into which payments are made by the salesman`and from which change is given as recLiired by means of a coin-ejecting slide in they ase of each magazine.

The determination of what particular coin slides shall be projected to deliver chan e is under a dual control and is determined, rst, by a series of lockingfdisks cooperative with the mechanism by which the amount of the f sale made'is indicated and recorded, and,

second, by a latch-release of such coin-slides as are necessary to make up the change from a particular coin given, which release is effected a finger-key opposite each coinslide.

he necessity for such dual control will be apparent to any one who has given A4the matter attention, but need not be enlar'ged upon here.

he release of tlfe coin-slides by the fingerkcys enables them to effect the release of a change-deliver drawer beneath into which the required c ange falls, and the drawer is outwardl projected by a 'spring or springs, and the c iange is delivered to the purchaser.

The particular manner by which I attain these results is full set forth in the following specification and i lustrated in the drawings which accompanyit.

Figure 1 is a vertical section lthrough the twenty five cent coin ma azine, showing the cooperation of the c lange delivery drawer with the coin-slides',.&c; Fig. 2, a front elevation of the same magazine, showing the lock-disk by which the'coin-slide is controlled from the sales-register mechanism; Fig. 3, a vertical section of. a double- Slide magazine wherein both coin-slides are under the control of the sales-registering mechanism as is requiredfor ten-cent pieces; Fig. 4, a front elevation of the same, showin the lock-disk 'by which such control is e fected; Fig. 5, a'vertical section through a magazine having a double coin-slide, one. on] of which is under the control of the salesregister and the other operated by the change-delivery key, which conditions are required for a five-cent magazine, Fig. r46, a -plan of the coin-slides of the foregoinmaga zines, showing the separateJ latch-detenta Fig. 7 is a .vertical cross-section on the line 7 7 of Fig. 1, showing in rear elevation the manner of connectin and o erating the latches which release t e coin-s ides of fiftycent, twenty-fivecent, ten-cent, and five.- cent pieces. Fig. 8 shows a front elevation of the lock-disks for the foregoing magazines. F ig. 9 shows in diagrammatic front elevation the mechanism by which the sales-regis ter shaft effects the desired movement of the lock-disk shafts. Fi 10 shows in lan view the arrangement of t e mechanism )y which the sales-register effects the desired movement of the lock-disk shafts and also shows the magazines, &c., the casing being shown in Section and parts thereof being broken away. Fig. 1 1 is a diagrammatic view showing the various cycles of movement for the various look-disks, indicating which disks are released and which are locked of the various magazines indicated by the top row of iigures for sales from twenty-five cents to one dollar, indicated b'y the left-hand row of grires in Fig, 1, when a one-dollar piece has been tendered in ayment.

The drawings erewith show the application of the invention to a cashregister of any kind wherein the indicating and recording mechanism is operable by the rotation of a shaft, whether the indicating and recording is performed on a dial or by means of a tippe or other device and whether the 'rotation of the shaft is effected by keys or a crank-handle, and the magazines are shown to rcceive and deliver coins in fifty, twenty-ve,vten, and five cent pieces.

A magazine for dollars is not provided in the one illustrated, as the cashreservc drawer below. the change-delivery drawer requires to beopened for the reception and payment of bills; but in a complete machine the same principle of magazine rece tion and deliveryl IOO may be extended to inclu( e dollars and five,

ten, and twenty'dollar pieces and also .with

slight nioditivations, to thv rvcvption und payment of cvnts.

the lower slide. The upper plate is latched and released directly by a backwardly-bent and downwardly-turned extension 42 of the finger-key of the ten-cent magazine, which enga es a notch 43 in the opposite edge of the top s ide 16.v This provision of two s ides for the five-cent magazine, one to be operated by the general latch-releasemechanism and the other operated directly by the ten-cent xo finger-hey, is rendered necessary because on 'reglstration of a five-cent sale the lock-disk which controls the slide requires to be in the locked position while" a ten-cent ayment may4be made necessitating the de ivery of t5 fiveqcent change.

`-;'/2il`lthough the depression of the finger-key levers effects the release of the latches of all the magazine coin-slides of lower value than the onedepressed and leaves the slides zo free to be projected outward to discharge the coin which occu V ies the aperture 13 thereof, a further contro of the coin-slides is required to insure that the correct slides only are projected to give the required change, and this 2 5 control must work in conjunction with the mechanism which announces and registers the amount of the sale made. It is immaterial what particular cash-register is employed so long as either the sales announcer or regis- 3o ter of it is operable by a shaft rotatable by any means.

On referring to Fig. 9, represents the shaft by which the registering mechanism is operated, and we vfill assume that one revo- 3 5 lution of thc` shaft 45 will announce and register whcthe'r'bydial or tapl sales progressing fromjive cents to a dollar. On considering when the various coin-slides should be rojected to give change for various sales 4o rom five cents to a dollar and when locked to prevent such projection it is found that the periods of lock and release follow a certain cycle in the progressive sales. l therefore provide in front of each coin-slide a lock and 45 rel-case disk 46, rotatable on shafts 47 48 49 below it in such a position that the upper part of the periphery of thedisk is in front of a downwardv projection 14 from the front edge of Vcach slide. 'l'hese disks are rotatable 45o by suitable gearing from the shaft 45 of the sales-register, so that the period of their rotation corrrsponds with that ofthe cycle fof lock and rele asc required for eachmagazineslide, and the periphery of the disk is provided with notches' which will permit the passage of the projection 14 in the order required in cach cycle. Thus the five-centcoin slide for a five-cent sale should be llocked, (11,) for a ten-cent'sale the slide should o.be released (R) to be projected, for a fifteencent sale locked, (L,) for a twenty-cent sale released, (R,) for a twenty-rive locked, (13,) and this cycle of lock (L) released, (R,) lock (L) released, (R,) lock (L) is repeated again from thirtyY to jfty, from fifty-five to sev- (See diagrammatic Fig. 11.)

enty-five, and from eighty to one hundred. The shaft 47, on which is secured the lock and release disk for the five-cent-Inagazine slide, is therefore caused to perform four revolutions to `one of the sales-register shaft 45, because thecycle of its lock and release recurs four 'times vin theA sales from five cents to a dollar,

and the periphery of the disk 46 is divided into five equal arts corrrsponding with the fivedivisions ofp the cycle and has notches 51 recurrin in the rotation required by the cy lele, as' i ustrated .in Fig. 8, where the ra iating lines indicate divisions of the disk, and the cycle of lock and release is attained by the order of recurrence of the notches 51 in the periphery ofthe disk.

In considering the requirements of lock and release of the ten-cent-magazine coin-slides We haveto dealwith the possibility of one or two ten-cent pieces heilig required to make up change, for which purpose the two superposed coin-slides are provided, and to enable one or both to be' released, as occasion may require, the lower one has adownward projection 52 larger than that, 14, of the upper one. Smaller and larger notchrs 57 or 58 in the lock-disk provide for the release of both ,or one slide in the proper order requiredby the cycle, which, examination shows, to be for a five-cent sale both may require to be released, for a ten-cent sale release one, fifteen cents release one, twenty cents lock, twenty- `five-cent lock7 the cycle as before recurring four times in sales from five cents to a dollar. The period of rotation of the ten-cent lockshaft 4,8 should therefore be the same as that IOO of the five-cent shaft-namely, four to one of the sales-register shaft.

For a twenty-five-cent magazine the cycle of lock and release recurs twice in the sales from five cents to a dollar, from five to twentyfive requiring to be free, and from thirty to fifty locked,this eylce being repeated from fifty-five cents to one dollar. -Therefore its disk-shaft 49 may be rotated at the same speed as the sales-register shaft, and the first quarter of its periphery, in which the slide requires to be free, is removed, as at 53, to permit the passage of the downward projection 14 of t e slide, the second quarter is intact, as at 54, the third quarter removed, and .the fourth quarter intact,

For` a fifty-cent magazine thc slide re quires to be free from ve cents to fifty and lobked from fifty-five to a dollar. Therefore if its lock-disk shaft 50 is 'rotated at the same speed as the register-shaft 45 the periphery of the disk throughout one half of the circumference may be removed, as at.55, and for the other half left intact, as at 56.

Thu-s l if the register-shaft 45 is turned one-twenti eth of a revolution as indicating a tive-cent sale the shaft 47 and-48 will rotate one-fifth of a revolution and the shafts 49am! 5t) onetwentieth of a revolution in the direction indicated hy the arrows, in which position the tive-rent disk on the shaft 47 will still be in the locked posit ion and the notch 58 and the removed portions 53 and 55 will he brought to the top opposite to the downward projeef, tions H 52 of the respective coin-slides, so` that if tive cents is paid to cover the five-cent i sale no change can he withdrawn; hut if ten t cents is paid to eoverit the key 35 of the tenj cent magazine isdepressed and the u )per slide of the live-cent magazine is released and proj j eeted, as the to five-eeirtslide is not dependent on the loelz and release disk, the tive cents cha ngc lbeing dropped into the delivery drawer and outwardly projected. If a d'ollar is paid to cover the live-cent sale, the dollar is deposited in` the cash-reserve drawerunless a dollar-magaline is furnished and the finger-key 35 marked 5'1" isdepressed, which releases all the eoin-slides, and as all the disks hut the live-cent one arc set to release the slides they will he projected and will drop into the delNery-drawer one fift veent piece, one twentv-tve-cent piece, and two ten-cent pieces, making the required change of ninetytive cents.

Now assume that a seventy-tive cent sale is registered. That means that the shaft 46 is rotated through three-t uarters of its revolution. 'lhe lock and release shafts 47 and 4S will each make three revolutions and return to the positions indicated on thedrawingn namelyj loeketl-the shafts 4.) and 5() will he rotated through thret-l-quarters of a revolution, whieh will hring a removedspace 53 ol the disk of the 49 shaft opposite to the downward projection of the slide, and its slide will he free for release and the disk of the shaft 5t] will have an intact part 56 opposite to the downward projection 14, and its slide will he locked, ll' now a dollar payment is made and the dollar linger-key depressed, all the coin-slideswill he released hy the latches 2l; hut only the slide of" the twenty-live-eent magazine will he free to pass its lock and release disk, and twenty-live cents change will he dropped into the deliyery-drawer.

Figs. and l() show the arrangement of the gear-wheels, by which the rotation ofthe several lock and release shafts is elleeted from that ofthe announcing and' register shaft 45. A wheel 60; secured on` the regis ter-shaft, meshes wit-h a pinion 6l of the required diameter ou the shaft 47 for the five centemagazine lock. lhe shaft 48 for the ten-cent magazine being drivenat an equal j hack of theeash-reserve drawer.

speed to 47 is rotated `from it by equal wheels 62 on each. A pinion 63 ou the' shaft 48' meshes with the wheel 64 on the shaft 49 and moved. to announce and register a given sa1euntil the change-delivery drawer is projected out, this is effected by a pand-wheel 68, secured on the shaft 47, and a springsactuated pawl 69, ivotally mounted' 011l the front plate 2 of t 1e case, which will retain the shaft in the desired position against backward r0- tation. rPhe ratchet-wheel 68 is furnished withI five teeth, so that it will check the re ristershaft at each five-cent division of its i'al or tape. The pawl 69 is extended beyond its pivot and carried down to engage a wedgeshaped projection 70 on the edge of the; cllangedlelivery drawer 7, beneath which projection is so placed as to effect the release of the pawl when the change-delivery drawer is at the outward limit of its movement. j

In the use ot the device the operator ro tates the sales-register shaft 45 to announce and register the amount of the sale made, and in doing so the several shafts on which the lock and release disks 46 are secured are rotated hy the train of gears to lock or retain the several coin-slides, as required by such salle. 'lhe operator on receiving the coin necessary to cover the amount of the sale passes it through one of the slits 9 corre* sponding to its value, when itfalls into the magazine ttl belonging to it, or if the magaviine is full passes down the chute 11 into the The operator then dcpresses the linger-.key 35 corresponding to the value of the coin received, which releases they latehes of all the coinslides ol' less value, and sueh of them as are required, according to the determined cycle oi" lot-k and 'release of the disks 46, to make up the required change will he projected outward and will withdraw l'rom the magazines the eoins neeessar) and drop them into the delivery-drawer 7, which is released by the forward movement ol' the eoin-slides operating the lever 1&2 to lil't the draxver-latch 37.
